What you need to make Cake Pops with Brownie

• Brownies. Either already baked and cooled or premade brownies. You can find some great tasting brownie mixes here. Stick to a fudgy brownie mix for a more 'fudgy' texture.
• Chocolate Frosting. This is needed for flavor, texture, and structure.
• Chocolate Candy Melts. Gives the cake pops that hard and chocolatey coating.
• Lollipop Sticks To hold the cake pops.
• Optional. Toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and candy sprinkles.

How to make Easy Brownie Cake Pops.

• Prep Time 10-45 minutes (depending on if you need to bake the brownies) .
• Servings 20–24 cake pops .
• How to serve : Serve as a snack, dessert, or special treat for a gathering or party.
• Notes: If you are baking brownies, you will need the ingredients that are listed on the packaging.

.

1. Bake. Bake the brownies as indicated on the packaging and then allow the brownies to fully cool. If your brownies have already been baked and cooled, you can skip this step.
2. Prepare. Line a rimmed baking sheet that can fit into your freeze with parchment or wax paper.
3. Combine. Use your hands to break up the cooled brownies into small crumb-sized pieces. You can wear food grade gloves to do this. Place the brownie crumbs into a large bowl and then add the frosting, dropping dollops over the brownie crumbs. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to combine the ingredients until they are able to hold together.
4. Scoop. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the ingredients and then roll the ingredients into a ball. When done, stick a lollipop stick about halfway into the center of each of the balls and then place the baking sheet in your freezer for 15 minutes to help the ingredients set.
5. Melt. While the pops are setting, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat your chocolate melts, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until smooth. You can add a teaspoon or two of shortening if needed to smooth the chocolate out.
6. Coat. Carefully dip each of the pops into the melted chocolate. You can use a spoon to help coat the pops with the melted chocolate if needed. Then place the pops back on to the baking sheet.
7. Topping. While the chocolate is still wet, you can add sprinkles or toppings as desired to your cake pops.
8. Set. Allow the chocolate coating to fully set and harden before serving.

Tips for making the best brownie pops.

This is the perfect use for day old brownies if you happen to have some. Also, it may be easier for your to break up your brownies if you simply place them into a food processor and pulse the brownies until broken up into crumbs.

More helpful tips for you.

1. When adding the frosting dollops to the brownies, add half of the frosting and then make adjustments as needed to the full amount needed as frosting textures can vary. Also, a cookie scoop is used to scoop out the mixture so that the pops are all a uniform size.
2. Perhaps the best hack, other than using already baked brownies, is to use a cake pop stand to hold your bites. A cake pop stand allows the melted chocolate and toppings to set without being disturbed and also makes serving the pops easy to do!
3. My cake pops were coated with chocolate candy melts and put together with chocolate frosting. You can really use the frosting or melts of your choice.

How to store cake pops.

Once they have fully set, cake pops can be individually wrapped or stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, they should keep for up to five days at room temperature, two weeks refrigerated, or up to three months when frozen.
